They are easy to make and you don’t have to heat up your house turning on the oven in the middle of the summer. Banh Mi is a Vietnamese sandwich that is packed full of flavor with fresh veggies that are cool, crisp, and lightly pickled so they have a bright, tangy flavor, and a filling of some type of pork. Our Banh Mi Meatball Sliders aren’t exactly traditional, they are more Banh Mi-inspired, but I love the flavors we ended up with and I think these are going to be a hit all summer long!

Banh Mi Sliders open-faced with Korean BBQ meatballs on top of pickled vegetables The Cooked Perfect Fresh Meatballs Korean BBQ Beef & Pork are coated in a spicy sweet glaze with notes of gochujang, ginger, soy sauce and chives. I love all of those flavors and I could eat them right out of the microwave but, I thought my family might like these Banh Mi Meatball Sliders more ;).  They are simple to throw together. Slice up some carrots (I buy shredded carrots to save time), cucumber, red cabbage (you can use coleslaw mix to save time), and radish and put them all in a big bowl. Then make your pickling liquid. Mix rice vinegar and sugar together in a small bowl and pour the liquid over the vegetables tossing them in it so they are fully coated. This is for a really fast pickle so you only need about 20 minutes but if you can let it sit longer that only enhances the pickled flavor.

Spread the veggies over the bottom half of the bread and sprinkle with fresh cilantro. When I’m eating these myself I add some fresh jalapeno slices too but if the kids are eating them I skip the heat. It’s totally up to you. Place a Cooked Perfect ® Fresh Meatballs Korean BBQ Beef & Pork meatball on each slider bun and top with the top buns. That’s it! Fresh, light, packed with flavor and super easy to make! These Banh Mi Meatball Sliders are perfect for summer parties or quick dinners after a long day playing in the sunshine.
